Hotness has got a new definition, courtesy a curry called 'Satan's Ashes', which requires its makers and staff to wear masks and rubber gloves to handle it.
Touted as the hottest in the world, the dish contains the Naga Morich chilli, which measures 953,721 on the Scoville heat scale.
If this was not hot enough, the dish also contains the Bhut Jolokia, which has been registered at a sweat-inducing 1,001,304.
And to get a spoonful of this sadistic dish, one has to visit Cumbria, where it is prepared, reports News of the World.
Now, Ged Fowler, of the Chilli Pepper Company, is bidding to get the red-hot recipe listed in the Guinness Book of Records.

Always remember, What you do today may burn your a$$ tomorrow.
Ouchiewawa!
First you taste the fire; tomorrow you feel the brimstone.
I can’t imaging what 1,000,000 scoville’s would feel like sliding down my throat or making it’s exit several hours later.
I’ll pass.
Wow. This looks more like a publicity stunt, though, than something people would actually eat.
Habaneros are amateur night, by comparison. Just brutal.
If you try one, have a stick of butter ready to hand. TRUST ME on this!
They can keep the Bhut far, far away from me. It's used as an ordeal test by certain Indian religious sects.
...and the next morning, you will get visited by the police for a domestic disturbance. It will sound like a felony drug bust going down in the bathroom!
Fire in the hole!
Today’s machismo revists as tomorrow’s gastric reflux.
LOL! That’s one of my favorite scenes in that Tv show.
Holy crap. Saddam’s inventory didn’t have anything on this stuff.
Why in the world would any sane person do this to their body? Give me a tender filet and I’m a happy guy.....

I wonder if people use it to de-worm. LOL
... so hot it will char the porcelain.
My tapeworm would hate me if I ate that...
Where did you get it?
Where did you get it?
ROFLMAO!
Some years ago, I had some fun w/a couple of their salesmen involving habaneros. Long story short, I acquired a reputation as someone who 'could eat anything'. Naturally, given this backdrop, when a palette of small boxes of Nagas came in, the salesmen bet me I couldn't eat one.
Fact is -- without my handy-dandy couple of pats of butter stuffed into my cheeks -- there is/was NO WAY, no effing way, that I could have eaten that pepper. Even with the butter (butter, and fats generally, dissolve oleoresin capsicum, which is the 'hot' chemical in this family of pepper, but neither water nor beer will dissolve it), I could barely finish it.
You want to eat Nagas? Just be bloody careful! Murderously hot.
Now we know where Larry London, the chef from the movie “The Freshman” has gone to lure rich afficiados of rare gourmet viands.
Wow, I gotta say, I’m awfully curious about trying a bite.
Where is Cumbria? If there are more than one, which one?
Hungry? ping
It’s the Northwest moust county in England.
Now this guy seems to be an experience pepper eater. It does give one pause....

Nice to have my (once, and ONLY once, trust me!) experience confirmed on video.
Folks, just DO NOT screw around with Nagas, they are ultimate hard-core BRUTAL.
